Add to /etc/security/limits.conf something like: * hard rtprio 99 * hard nice -20 * soft nice -20 * hard memlock 500000 There is some anecdotal evidence that "memlock" does not work. I have not investigated it yet. Lee
I believe if you set a hard limit without also setting the soft limit it will leave the soft limit at the default. On FC5 the default limit for rtprio is 0 and memlock is 32k or so. I think you can use '-' to set both the soft and hard limit, so the above would become: * - rtprio 99 * - nice -20 * - memlock 500000 Tim.
